The local graphics house is definitely worth the cost (especially if one has to buy a new (cheap = lousy; good = $$$) scanner) just to do the job at home any decent justice.

Very true. That aspect and danger cannot be over-stated.
iCloud, Dropbox, etc are OK as a

Another excellent suggestion. The book solution is really a good one, and makes the overall tedious archiving job more creative, fun, personal in creating the subjects/topics and then designing/organizing them.
